Pokémon: Starting with a strongman and a slacker

Zhuge Chaoyue glared at him, "Stop grinning like that, be polite to him later!"

"Why? Give me a reason!"

"Just be polite, or I'll beat you up!"

Just as the two were exchanging glances, Lieutenant General Zhao turned his gaze over, startling Bai Jing so much that he immediately stood at attention.

"Hello, Comrade Bai Jing. My name is Zhao Hu. Thank you for saving so many of the nation's elites and successfully completing the mission to bring back the secret realm!"

Bai Jing quickly shook hands with him, "General, you're too kind. This is the duty of every citizen of the Dragon Kingdom!"

Zhao Long and Zhao Hu, needless to say, are definitely brothers!

"Good, good, I'm very pleased that you have this awareness!"

"As for the merits you have made, the state will reward you accordingly. Just wait patiently!"

Zhao Hu suddenly leaned closer and whispered, "By the way, I'm Chaoyue's dad!"

Bai Jing gasped. No wonder the female demon threatened to be polite to him.

"Um... I don't need to call you father-in-law, do I?"

"You little rascal, you wish! But I'm quite satisfied with you, and I wouldn't mind if my daughter dated you."

Bai Jing gave a thumbs up, "Great dad from China!"

Zhao Hu laughed heartily, "I think I'm quite open-minded about fatherhood; as long as my daughter is happy, that's all that matters!"

"Absolutely, she likes me a lot!"

Zhuge Chaoyue, who had been eavesdropping the whole time, was immediately speechless. What a shameless guy!

"You really dare to say that! But I'm telling you, dating is fine, but you can't mess around. At least not until we're officially committed!"

"Oh, can't I just get on the train first and buy the ticket later?"

"You dare? I'll kill you right now!"

Bai Jing pouted. "Do you think I'd notify you if I wanted to get on the bus? I'm not stupid!"

"Cough cough~"

Zhuge Chaoyue felt that if she let the two of them continue their discussion, she would be utterly ashamed!

"Alright, you young people, have a chat!"

"Doctor, this way please!"

He truly deserves to be called a good father in China, knowing how to give his daughter space.

Everyone else had left, and Zhuge Chaoyue came up to him, staring intently at him.

"Why are you being so fierce?"

"If you dare to talk nonsense to my dad again, I'll chop you up!"

"Huh? I barely escaped with my life and finally came back, and this is how you treat me? How can you live with yourself?"

Zhuge Chaoyue turned her head and said, "I forgive you because you've done such a great service this time!"

"What do you mean by 'I forgive you'? Shouldn't you reward me?"

"What reward would I give you? I didn't even ask you to go!"

"Reward me for remaining calm in the face of danger, reward me for turning the tide, reward me for bringing back the secret realm for the country!"

Bai Jing pulled her to a secluded spot.

"What does this have to do with me? Go ask the government for a reward!"

"It's none of your business!"

Bai Jing pinned her against the wall, his face getting closer and closer.

"I was in so much danger this time, I almost didn't make it back. Aren't you worried? Shouldn't you comfort my frightened little heart?"

"You...what do you want to do?"

"What do you say?"

"Don't do anything reckless! This is a military area. What if someone finds out?"

"It's alright, no one will come!"

"I don't want to! I... You bastard, you've sealed my superpowers again!"

"Wasn't I afraid you'd run away?"

"I... mmm~~"

Here we go again. Does this bastard have to force a kiss on me?

This time, Bai Jing decided to take it slow!

After a long while, Zhuge Chaoyue pushed him away, her face completely red!

"You bastard, get out of here!"

Feeling utterly embarrassed, Zhuge Chaoyue teleported away instantly, his clothes disheveled as he ran.

Bai Jing smiled and said, "Although we didn't achieve our goal, we've at least taken another small step forward!"

"Take it one step at a time, and you'll hit a home run eventually!"

He didn't stay long in the military area and had the soldiers take him back to his rented room outside the school.

"Let's take stock of what we've gained from this trip!"

Two ice gems.

One Ice Orb.

A heart of ice and snow.

A treasure of silver.

A slab of ice.

There are also a few skill discs and a dozen or so evolution stones.

This haul was quite good, with the ice slab being the biggest prize.

"We don't need the gems and jewels, are we going to auction them off?"

"Forget it, we're not short of money right now, let's keep it!"

"Keep the Silver Treasure for when you find a suitable spirit."

"The Ice Slab and the Heart of Ice and Snow can be carried by Lapras."

"Although it's not as useful as the legendary stone tablet, the dragon can carry it around indefinitely, and it's a good way to gain experience!"

Strictly speaking, Lapras's primary element is water, so equipping it with an Ice Slab is somewhat of a waste.

Chapter 114 I've Become a Class I Protected Animal

The next day, I continued working with Kong Daxian and the others to create information on the mythical beasts, and it took half a month to finally complete.

Two days after the completion, a man named Longdu came, and he was a major general.

"Comrade Bai Jing, my name is Long Yangyun, and I come here on behalf of the country!"

"Greetings, Major General Long. Please have a seat!"

Bai Jing was very enthusiastic because this was a reward for him.

At the same time, he was curious. Both were major generals, but Zhao Long was in his late thirties or nearly forty, while this guy looked to be at most thirty. The difference was quite significant.

Most importantly, this guy is so handsome, only slightly less so than me.

"First of all, thank you for everything you have done for the country, and thank you for your selfless willingness to contribute valuable information about mythical beasts, which will play a significant role in the country's development!"

"You're too kind, it's all I should do!"

"Finally, I am personally very grateful to you for saving that group of elites who were heading to the United States. Some of them were my subordinates, and some were my good friends. They were all my brothers in arms. Thank you very much!"

Long Yangyun gave a military salute at the end, which Bai Jing had no choice but to return.

"You're too kind, you're too kind!"

This guy is so long-winded, is he even going to give me the benefits?

"In recognition of your outstanding contributions and achievements, after deliberation by several leaders, it has been decided to award you the following honors."

I'm coming!

"First, award the Second Class Medal."

Bai Jing was somewhat surprised; there really was a medal to be given, and it was even a second-class honor.

He had just been joking with Kong Daxian, saying that anyone who received a medal had made a huge contribution to the country and the people.

"This... I am unworthy of such an honor!"

Long Yangyun explained, "The information on the mythical beast you contributed is crucial to the long-term development of the country. The more it plays a role in the future, the greater your contribution will be!"

In other words, my achievements will continue to accumulate in the future.
